While most of the new mattresses today try to do this with fancy new technology and try to sell you on the mattress through slick ad campaigns, they don‘t seem to work all that well (as evidenced by the constant introduction of newer models that claim to be the best). That‘s the problem. The good news is, you don‘t need any of those over-engineered, pricey mattresses. Jettison the fancy for the simple in the form of the futon mattress, and you may realize how much more conducive to a good night‘s rest simplicity can be. In this article, we will discuss the single futon mattress, but keep in mind that the discussion will also be applicable to larger futon mattresses.

Just what is a futon mattress, exactly? It is a very simple mattress which could almost be considered a portable padded surface, if we‘re talking about a traditional Japanese futon. They are everything hi-tech mattresses are not. They don‘t contain springs, coils, wire, or any type of metal. That means that as long as you‘re on a good, flat surface, there‘s nothing to poke you in the back. Just firm, even support throughout. If you think about it, we are meant to sleep on firm surfaces. It maintains a good posture if we are lying on our backs.
